The Business of Executive Coaching

A good coaching business requires Inspiration AND Perspiration


Listen Later

In this episode of the Business of Executive Coaching podcast I explore a challenge many coaches face—balancing our need to feel excited and inspired about our businesses, and the need to get sh*t done (quite a lot of it!)..

Too much inspiration without execution? Lack of progress..

Too much action without inspiration? Burnout, and a lack of joy in our achievements.

After 17 years experience as an executive coach, I’ve seen how easy it is to get stuck at either extreme. This episode touches on balancing the two and creating a business that is both fulfilling and financially sustainable by ensuring inspiration and execution work together.

Here’s what we cover:

The Role of Inspiration and Action – Why both are essential for growth and long-term success.

✨ Common Pitfalls – Signs you may be focusing too much on one side and how to correct the course.

✨ Staying Inspired – Practical ways to keep energy and motivation high, from journaling to building a strong support network.

✨ Taking Meaningful Action – How to structure your efforts so they lead to real results.

✨ Inside My Own Strategy Review – What I’m prioritising in 2025 and how I’m simplifying my business focus.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to keep both inspiration and execution in sync, helping you build a business that aligns with your goals and values.
